    dog's bones 2020 -- 12/31 Gargantuan Green Dragon

    1. I hate mummies. Our GM has had to hand wave the rotting curse from their strike every time because nobody has the ability or means to get a curse removed. 2. What is the white/tan pile of bones called. I don't think I've ever seen it before.

    D&D General Worlds of Design: Is Fighting Evil Passé?

    Orlando Furioso was 16th Century There certainly was something that could be called an orc in the D&D sense going all the way back to the Middle Ages. The Wikipedia article says Tolkien based it off the goblins in another book. Goblins go back at least as far as the Middle Ages. And that...

    D&D General Worlds of Design: Is Fighting Evil Passé?

    I didn't mean the orcs were inspired by Mongols, the Huns, etc. I'm saying that a group of evil, savage creatures doesn't require colonialism to envision because there are plenty of historical sources for a fictional race of purely evil creatures. I'll chalk it up to my bad writing and your...

    D&D General Worlds of Design: Is Fighting Evil Passé?

    Orcs existed in myth long before Tolkien. Some trace it to Beowulf, others to the Romans. Regardless of the source, we have the Old Testament and the Huns, Mongols, and all the various Germanic tribes for inspiration. Western colonialism is just a bugaboo. Thor is already a part of D&D and...

    D&D 5E (2014) I made a trailer!

    That was great. Some of the images didn't match the text. I was expecting a vampire or invisible man and then a griffin (?) pops up. And the text scrolling at the end scroll was way too fast. At first I thought it was a list of patreons or supporters. I watched the video several times to...

    GM Meta-burnout

    Maybe switch to board games until you figure out a solution? That way you can get a fairly rules heavy system but you can share the burden of knowing the rules with other players and only one person has to invest in the game. Here is a list of ten "RPG board games" I found in a quick Google...

    D&D 5E (2014) Keeping Spellbooks Unique

    In the Dying Earth series that gave D&D its Vancian magic, spells were a source of great power and therefore closely held secrets. You didn't trade them around like Pokémon cards. Wizards risked life and limb to gain a new spell from another wizard. I vaguely remember in 1E that there was a...

    Designing a city for my pirate campaign

    The ironically named "Holy Quarter" is where all the cut throats and pirates live, right? The only thing I see lacking on the map is a graveyard with a mausoleum leading to the crypts. I think it was typical to have a church in every neighborhood in Medieval cities rather than one mega church...

    D&D General Two sessions in a row without combat...

    The next time they go to ask the NPC for advice, throw in a random encounter of a bunch of assassins trying to take them out. Have the last assassin say right before he dies, "We spent days planning this attack, going back and forth, trying to make it perfect. Now I realize there is no perfect...
